﻿Welcome ...

I'm delighted to say that my first book of creative non-fiction, This is Not a Book About Charles Darwin, will be published by Holland House Books on Darwin Day - 12th February - 2019. For more information click here.

FICTIONMy debut novel The Mathematics of Love was shortlisted for several prizes including the Commonwealth Writers' Best First Book. The Times called it "That rare thing, a book which succeeds on every level." My second novel, A Secret Alchemy, reached the Sunday Times bestsellers lists: the Daily Mail called it "Powerful and convincing". My third novel is in the works.

I have taught courses and workshops from Zurich to New Zealand, by way of York and Milton Keynes, and worked with writers at all stages of their development. My blog, This Itch of Writing: the blog, is read by creative and academic writers, and industry professionals, around the world.
